North America Results
* North America installed restaurant base at September 30, 2009 totaled 10,338, an 18% increase over September 30, 2008. * North America seated diners totaled 10.1 million, a 22% increase over Q3 2008. * North America revenues totaled $16.1 million, a 19% increase over Q3 2008. * North America non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation) totaled $5.7 million, or 35% of North America revenues, a 37% increase over Q3 2008.
International Results
* International installed restaurant base at September 30, 2009 totaled 1,337, a 45% increase over September 30, 2008. * International seated diners totaled 0.2 million, an 89% increase over Q3 2008. * International revenues totaled $1 million, a 32% increase over Q3 2008. * International non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA totaled a loss of $1.4 million compared to adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.1 million in Q3 2008.
"Our strong performance this quarter was driven by substantial increases in both our base of installed restaurants and our total number of seated diners," said Jeff Jordan, CEO of OpenTable. "Despite continued challenges presented by the economy, we are really pleased to see that the business continued to demonstrate good underlying momentum throughout the third quarter -- both in North America and internationally."
Q3 2009 Consolidated Financial and Operating Summary
* OpenTable's total revenues were $17.0 million in Q3 2009, up 20% over Q3 2008 revenues of $14.2 million. -- Subscription revenues were $9.1 million in Q3 2009, up 16% over Q3 2008 revenues of $7.9 million. Subscription revenues increased as a result of the increase in installed restaurants. -- Reservation revenues were $7.1 million in Q3 2009, up 25% over Q3 2008 revenues of $5.7 million. Reservation revenues increased as a result of the increase in seated diners. -- Installation and other revenues were $0.8 million in Q3 2009, up 26% over Q3 2008 revenues of $0.7 million. * Total operating expenses were $14.7 million in Q3 2009, up 3% over Q3 2008 operating expenses of $14.3 million. The increase was primarily driven by a 6% increase in headcount and higher legal costs partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation. * Operating income was $2.4 million in Q3 2009 compared to a loss of $0.1 million in Q3 2008. Non-GAAP consolidated operating income, excluding stock-based compensation expense, was $3.0 million in Q3 2009 compared to $0.9 million in Q3 2008. * The Company's year to date effective tax rate through Q3 2009 was approximately 60%. The effective tax rate is high because stock-based compensation is non-deductible for tax purposes. * Consolidated net income was $0.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in Q3 2009 compared to a loss of $0.3 million, or a loss of $0.03 per diluted share, in Q3 2008. Non-GAAP consolidated net income, which excludes stock-based compensation expense, was $1.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in Q3 2009 compared to $0.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in Q3 2008. * As of September 30, 2009, OpenTable had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $67.4 million.
"This quarter, our North America business again demonstrated the substantial operating leverage in our unique and predictable business model," said Matt Roberts, CFO of OpenTable. "Compared to last year, we delivered solid revenue growth this quarter without adding significant operating expenses."
Quarterly Conference Call
A conference call will be webcast live today at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET and will be available through the fourth quarter at http://investors.opentable.com/events.cfm. This call may contain forward-looking statements and other material information regarding the Company's financial and operating results.
About Non-GAAP Financial Information
The accompanying press release dated October 29, 2009, contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Tables are provided in the press release that reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP consolidated net income and the related per diluted share amounts, non-GAAP consolidated operating income, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. When used in connection with historical results, the non-GAAP financial measure adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation.
To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about the Company's core operating results and thus are appropriate to enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past financial performance and its prospects for the future. Management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation and non-cash charges because such items do not reflect the underlying performance of the Company's business operations. These adjustments to the Company's GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying operational results and trends and performance. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company's financial results. The presentation of additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to financial results determined in accordance with GAAP.
